Abstract

The title imino–phosphine compound, [PdCl2(C26H22NP)] -
CH3CN, was prepared by reaction of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)
benzylidene]-2-methylaniline with dichlorido(cycloocta-
1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII cation
is coordinated by the P and N atoms of the bidentate chelating
ligand and by two chloride anions, generating a distorted
square-planar coordination geometry. There is a detectable
trans influence for the chloride ligands. The methyl group
present in this structure has an influence on the crystal
packing.
